Chapter 186: Comfort
On the way back, the shopkeeper of the herb shop kept sighing. He didn't expect this group of aliens to ask for so much saltpeter, and the amount of an entire cabin was completely beyond his ability. But he didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. If it was anything else, he wouldn't use his brain, even if he wanted to make a deal, he couldn't do anything.
But what they want is saltpeter! That's what Ryudu himself produces, and it can be said that it's inexhaustible!
"Shopkeeper, how's it going?" The guy greeted him, and when he saw the sad expression on the shopkeeper's face, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Didn't negotiate?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Talked?"
He still shook his head.
The guy is also in a hurry, this herb shop has been tepid in normal times, it is rare to have such a good business come to the door, what does it mean to keep shaking your head?
"Shopkeeper, you're talking!"
"Say what you say! Say, can you get me a boatload of saltpeter? The shopkeeper was upset by the guy and couldn't help yelling.
The guy was stunned for a moment, but then pondered, "A boatload of saltpeter?" ”
"yes!" The shopkeeper was no longer angry, and after venting his frustration, he was left helpless, "Those aliens want a boatload of saltpeter." ”
"We have saltpeter! Don't you have a saltpeter mine in Liudu? ”
"Are you smart? I don't know! As soon as the man said, the shopkeeper's fire came up again, "What do you know?" That's the court's, not our people's. It's okay to say that you can get a few dozen catties, that's thousands of catties! ”
Thousands of pounds? Damn! The man's face turned red with excitement when he heard this. Usually, this saltpeter can earn a tael a pound. Thousands of catties, that's a thousand taels of silver!
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper! We have to think of a way, this deal can't be lost! ”
"I don't know?" The shopkeeper turned his back and walked around the hall irritably, "The saltpeter mine is under the control of the Qin Governor's Mansion, where is our turn to get a piece of the pie?" ”
"Shopkeeper, what you said is not right!" The guy also fought hard for this month's dividends, "Then the Qin Governor's Mansion is not greedy for ink spots?" I don't believe it! I heard that the Qin Governor's Mansion has accepted a concubine again this month, and it is still the top brand of the Liuli Treasure Pavilion. Just listen to one song, and you have to count this number! "The guy drew a five, which means fifty taels.
"You say, the price of this purchase must not be as high as heaven?"
"You mean?"
"Shopkeeper, didn't you send a hundred-year-old ginseng to the Qin Governor's Mansion before? You can speak, there is a little leakage between the fingers of the Qin Governor's Mansion, isn't our business done? ”
The shopkeeper looked at the man's constant encouragement and encouragement, and his heart moved. He does have some friendship with this Qin prefect, this person is a good woman. Se, in order to gain a firm foothold in this place in Liudu, he sent some medicinal herbs. It's just that it's not the old ginseng that the guy thinks, but a white tiger. Whip.
"I'll try!" As soon as the shopkeeper's heart was crossed, he thought about seizing this business, what if those aliens wanted to finish a boat and another boat?
With that, he got into the dark room of the warehouse, picked up a delicate box and rushed to the mansion.
An hour later, the prefect of Qin Yong called Master Qin to his side with a smile: "It's time for the mine in the north to change its home." ”
Master Qin frowned, why did he change his current family? But there is no refusal, anyway, whoever is the next home as long as the price is not low.
When he heard that he was doing business with a foreigner, and the other party's price was higher, he had no resistance at all. Hello aliens, not to mention the high price, the main thing is safety! If the East Window incident happens one day, let the court know that they are greedy for a small piece of mine, and cure a crime of bullying the king, it will be connected to the nine clans.
It's not the same when sold to people of different races, and when they are shipped overseas, they are not afraid of being discovered. Even if you bump into the hell, you don't know the language, do you?
"Hehe, do a good job! Don't let the prefect down! Master Qin patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop, the hidden danger was solved, and it became unimportant to leak some intermediate fees to him.
"Yes! Please rest assured! The shopkeeper immediately rushed to Saltpeter Island with Master Qin's letter and saw Qianmo, "This is Master Qin's handwritten letter, and I will bring someone to load the saltpeter from the northern mine in the future." Master Qin said, the one given to you is still the same, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
Qian Mo took the letter and frowned: "It has always been our deal with the master." ”
"Heh, in the future, you will only be responsible for picking and moving! Tomorrow I will bring someone to load, remember to prepare a thousand pounds first. After saying that, he waved his hand and left, "No need to send it!" ”
Qian Mo and Qian Scarlet Moon stood on the mountainside, watching the boat of the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop drive away, and smiled at each other: "It's started!" ”
"Hmm!"
The next day, the shopkeeper of the herb shop took the alien ship to Saltpeter Island, and personally stood at the door of the cabin and watched them carry the saltpeter onto the ship. A pound is a tael, and he has to see clearly how much he has transported.
When the cabin was filled with saltpeter and the hatch was closed, a total of 800 catties were transported. One pound and ten taels, the alien was satisfied with eight thousand taels of silver and handed him over: "Seven days." ”
"Huh?" The shopkeeper hadn't recovered from the pile of silver tickets, and he still had a smile on his face when he raised it, "What seven days?" ”
"Many! And more! The alien gestured again.
This time, the shopkeeper instantly understood: "You mean it will be in seven days?" ”
"Good!" The alien nodded and gave a thumbs up.
The shopkeeper was so happy: "Good, good, really good!" ”
The alien drove the boat away, and the shopkeeper took out 1,600 taels and handed it to Qianmo: "Hehehehe, you have worked hard." But they still have to work hard, and they will come back in seven days. Don't delay when the time comes! ”
Qianmo took the silver ticket and nodded.
His cold shopkeeper doesn't care, and anyone who is stabbed horizontally will not be happy. He had heard that he was originally selling, and then he handed over to Master Qin. It's hard to say, how much was sold, who knows?
If Qianmo knew what he was thinking, he might sneer at his ignorance. Master Qin is looking for the next home, how can he take the risk to win over? If Master Qin knew, wouldn't he lose more than he gained? Where can someone else's next home have their own family that is trustworthy and easy to use?
Seven days later, the same ship, the same people, arrived at Saltpeter Island again. This time, the shopkeeper did not squat at the door of the cabin again, but ordered Qianmo to take a chair and table to find a shady place, and looked at it while eating fruit. Anyway, the cabin was full of eight hundred pounds, and he didn't bother to stand with him for most of the day.
"If you lie down and eat, you will have a lot of silver, and this day ...... Comfortable......" The shopkeeper stretched his waist and secretly praised that this recliner was so comfortable, and he fell asleep in a daze after a while.
He didn't know that while he was dreaming, a dark board in the corner of the cabin was removed, and the boxes of saltpeter that had been picked up from the cabin were moved down by the hand stretched out from under the dark board.
